IN THE WORDS OF CHRIS FLOYD: As we've noted here many times before, Arthur Silber is one of the most astute and insightful analysts of our degraded political culture. His is a most rare voice, of clarity, depth and eloquence, in the howling storm of sinister noise that constitutes the national "discourse." Long-time readers here know that Arthur is in low water: his health is very bad, and he struggles with a level of poverty that few of us have ever experienced. Now, in addition to these chronic difficulties, he is facing a dire threat to his main link to the world, and our only link to his insights: his computer. He operates on antiquated equipment that, again, few people would accept these days; but now, even this threadbare system is breaking down. I know these are hard times all around, especially for the kind of people who read this blog, and Arthur's. But if you can give any extra support at all to Arthur -- or get him a better computer somehow -- then I urge you to do so. His passionate commitment to truth and enlightenment is an invaluable resource that we cannot afford to lose, for as long as we can have it. Head on over there now and lend a hand, if you can.
